Using a Wacom Intous4 for editing

[labradorman]

Has anybody ever tried or has had experience with this type of Tablet, and if so did it make your work flow easier once set-up and configured correctly. I was thinking of looking into it and was wondering if anybody has any feedback that they can share with me.

I've been using one since my Intuos 3 met with a nasty Diet-Coke related end :-[
The pen is much more precise on the Intuos 4, and the ability to label buttons for each application (so the function appears next to the button on a little LED screen) is fantastic. In Lightroom I have the various buttons set up for my most used functions, and it's very rare that I need to touch the keyboard. I much prefer this to using a mouse, would highly recommend the setup.

I have been using a Wacom for many years now, not even sure what model! But I find it invaluable for both LR and CS4 and do not use the mouse at all. Buy one and once you get use to the feel, you will never go back!

Run, don't walk, and get yourself a Wacom tablet. Make sure you have the latest drivers from their site (just posted). You will never go back. It's a totally different experience.

I 1''% agree with the others. A Wacom tablet (especially the Intuos 4 line) is one of the best purchases I've ever made. The pen is more comfortable - and more importantly, having pressure sensitivity allows you a level of control you can't achieve anywhere else.

I would love to know how you all have got your Intuos 4's set up i.e. what Lightroom and Photoshop functions you have allocated to which buttons.

Thanks, John
